Genre translation
posted by Meshal433STAFFMOD on October 26, 2012 at 10:57 AM
Hi everyone,
How to translate genres into Arabic? And how to write actors' names in Arabic?
I'm basically trying to improve the Arabic content in the database (which is very poor unfortunately). So if there is anything else that can be translated please let me know.
Your help is appreciated.

Genre Tranlations Portuguese pt-PT
Already exists
In my opinion these should be added
In the series it is necessary to update, I think it was only done in the movies some time. The genres of the series must have all the genres they have in the movies, except the "TV movie", that is, all the ones that are above, plus the ones that I go next
@travisbell , What do you think? I think we should add some to improve

Too many musicals i.e. Finnish translation is wrong. I just noticed that I get really weird musical recommendations. Like The Bourne Identity, Oblivion, Rear Window and Saw
The used Finnish translation for mystery means musical. There has been copy/paste error etc. Here are three corrected genre translations:

This would be the translation in Catalan (I'm omitted some genres which don't have a real translation):

There is no translation of the site interface into Catalan.
I think that genres in Catalan will only be available when there is a translation of the site interface.
And to have a translation of the interface, someone needs to do.
To do this, someone needs to ask Travis to add Catalan to Locale, the interface translation site.
See in this link Website Translation
And I suggest you also inform the translation of the current list of genres and the likely list to be implemented.
See here at this link:
And here's the Travis likely list:

There are 2 Arabic language versions here on TMDb.
ar-AE and ar-SA
It seems to me that one of them, ar-SA already has the Genre translations.
If you are interested in translating Genres into another language version, then you need to enter the translations you want here.
If you can search here in this thread for some previous posts by other users, see that several translations have been offered and several accepted and implemented.

Try going back a few pages and you will understand what I am saying.
It is not yet possible.
Only movie titles can be translated.
Names of people and characters. maybe in the future.
